I’ll support Atiku, Peter Obi, Amaechi, Tambuwal if they emerge ADC candidate – Dele Momodu

A chieftain of the African Democratic Congress, ADC, Dele Momodu has pledged to support anybody who emerges as the party’s presidential candidate in 2027.

Momodu vowed to work with either former Vice President Atiku, Peter Obi, Rotimi Amaechi, Aminu Tambuwal if any of them emerges as the party’s flag bearer.

The veteran journalist disclosed this during an interview on News Central’s programme, Politics HQ, last night.

He said: “I’m very close to every one of them. Peter Obi has been to my house in Lagos, London, and Accra. I have also been to his house in Lagos. I know him very well and he knows me very well.

“We have mutual respect for each other but I’m telling you that it’s not about who I want, my allegiance is to the party. If today, ADC decided to pick Peter Obi, I will support him with everything I have.

“If it’s Tambuwal, Amaechi, I will support them and if it’s Atiku; it’s even sweater because already I have been with him.

“I feel bad when I hear people talk bad of Atiku, don’t forget that Atiku and Obi worked together in 2019, it was Atiku that first gave Obi that national platform to come out as a running mate and they did well despite not winning.

“So they are not enemies, they are interacting all the time and everybody knows that Atiku is a perfect gentle man and a consummate Democrat who does not bear grudges against anyone.”
